In 2007, in an effort to encourage families to enroll children up to 16 years of age into physically active programming, the Federal Government introduced a $500 per year non-refundable tax credit, the Child Fitness Tax Credit. The Playfit Kids fitness programs outlined below fulfill the eligibility requirements for the Credit as outlined below. Find out more here.
Am I eligible?
An eligible fitness expense must be for the cost of registration or membership of an eligible child in a prescribed program of physical activity. Generally, such a program must:
- Be ongoing (either a minimum of eight weeks long or, for children's camps, five consecutive days long);
- Each activity/session must be 45 minutes in length;
- Be supervised;
- Be suitable for children; and
- Include a significant amount of physical activity that contributes to cardio-respiratory endurance, plus one or more of: muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, or balance.
